These rolls make a perfect summer appetizer or side dish for a hearty family. My kids always liked snacking on these. Make a few extra, for sure your loved ones will come back for more. Hope you enjoy! TIP: These rolls can be stored in the freezer, before baking them. When needed just take out as many as you want and directly (frozen) bake on a lightly greased baking pan.
